YAY!! He is SUPER cute!! :) It is true... you just want to squeeze those chubby cheeks!! :) Congrats to you both! I can't wait to meet him! :) Good luck! And if you need anything, give me a holla!! :) Love ya guys!

wow... you sure got that announcment nailed down quickly... I mean considering. I can't get a good visual on the guy so far but his cute little face reminds me of other little faces I have seen before. I can't wait to see him in 3 dimensions. At first Tyler told me he thought his name was Preston. and I pondered- then called me back and said Parker and WOW- it seemed so much more fitting than Preston!! ADORABLE name and goes great with Ogden and Quinney and LEah (which somehow is important in my mind.) Good Luck with the next... few months- I will see you for sure the Sunday of General Conference weekend.

Love, KatyP.S. I have the name in the sand picture taken... I will keep you 'posted' or email it to you!

'Little-ish' is right! 9lb and 22 inches long is a big baby! I think it took Emmary 6 weeks to make it to that size:) Way to go my friend, I can't wait to come and meet him. Hopefully in just a couple of weeks I will have him a new friend to play with!

Congratulations you guys!! I love the name Parker and he looks so much like Matt (at least in one of the pics you posted, that was the first thoght that came to my mind) he is absolutely adorable and I hope you are doing well also! Take care!

Leah is in love! ...as is Dad. Dad's first real snuggle. Matt's a sucker for a baby that will sleep on his ches...

“Tempered glass, like tempered steel, undergoes a well-controlled heating process which increases strength. Thus, when tempered glass is under stress, it will not easily break into jagged shards that can injure. “Likewise, a temperate soul—one who is humble and full of love—is also a person of increased spiritual strength. With increased spiritual strength, we are able to develop self-mastery and to live with moderation. We learn to control, or temper, our anger, vanity, and pride. With increased spiritual strength, we can protect ourselves from the dangerous excesses and destructive addictions of today’s world.”
